What about Varios + VC1, or V-Synth+VC1

They run the same original algorythms as the original D50 (I think Roland say its actually the same code even) - ie its not a redone emulation.

Obviously the hardware is different so its alot cleaner, but have used a D50 alot and owning a D5 whey they first came out - I cant say I am aware of any major difference, though I do wonder if it has lost something with the cleaner sound, or maye it just because Im used to much rich synth sounds these days.

Hard to tell I guess without running a VC1 side by side with a D50.
